The role of engineering-geological conditions in foundation engineering is very important as they define the marginal conditions of the subsoil being capable of bearing a building without possible negative effects on its ...

Description of rocks in engineering geology is a specific and different from other geological disciplines. This need results from the necessity to apply of the rock properties in their names and descriptions. For foundation ...

Karst topography is a landscape shaped by the dissolution of a layer or layers of soluble bedrock, usually limestone and evaporites. Karstification in the Sivas basin (Turkey) has sculpted a beautiful landscape with a ...

Landslide hazard or susceptibility assessment is based on the selection of relevant factors which play a role on the slope instability, and it is assumed that landslides will occur at similar conditions to those in the ...

This paper presents a case study dealing with variations on the ground surface due to the underground mining activities in the Ostrava-Karvina Coal District (Czech Republic) over the last 25 years. During this period, some ...

The objective of this study is to produce a subsidence map linked to underground mining influence in a mining region. Ground subsidence represents the most important characteristic of a subsidence basin. However, ground ...

This study deals with the determination of the actual limit angles in the long-term formed subsidence basin in the Czech part of the Upper Silesian Basin (the remaining part lays in Poland). Here there was the most extensive ...

Correlations are very significant from the earliest days; in some cases, it is essential as it is difficult to measure the amount directly, and in other cases it is desirable to ascertain the results with other tests through ...

Dealing with the relation of the surface geological structure and floodplains is a very important scientific topic. The character of the geological structure is significant as these are areas unsuitable for foundation ...
